The artwork titled “Lightning” was created by René Magritte in 1944, during the Impressionism art movement. It measures 54 by 45 centimeters and is categorized as a still life.
In the artwork, a clay vase holds what appears to be a dense, cloud-like formation instead of the expected flowers. The background features an arrangement of flowing, vibrant colors, contributing to the impressionist style. The use of contrasting shades and textures creates a vivid depiction of unconventional beauty, veering away from the realistic still lifes towards a more imaginative representation. The artist’s name is signed in the lower right corner, marking the piece’s authenticity.
